I believe a VMDK was unintentionally deleted off an ESXi host I co-admin and I need some assistance recovering. This VMDK was thick provisioned and was 100GB in size and was used in Windows Server 2008 R2.

The file path was DATASTORE/VM1_1 and contained the VMDK file in question. Both the VMDK and the folder than contained it are gone. I have read several posts on recovering VMDK's and tried several attempts to "find" the missing file.
